I am having a FC Diver for quite some time and am amazed how well the Ceramic bezel holds up. It's still prefect!

Now, recently acquired a Caramic IWC and after some days, it has collected the first rub mark, which seems to be quite common if you look at used Top Gun IWCs to sell.

1. Does anybody have this kind of issue with his Ceramic AP?
2. Does anybody have an idea how to get these marks off?

Silicone cleaner and petrol/alcohol based cleaners did not work

would guess you can scratch it off as the ceramic should not scratch, but the material should. Just don't use a diamond.

using a cleaner you are probably relying on the material being dissolved as a cleaning cloth probably isn't abrasive enough.

Curious to what other think because i would like to know for sure.

You don’t need a diamond to scratch that.

My first thought when I saw the IWC pic was that’s DLC , but I was surprised when you said it’s a ceramic case. I have a 26401RO and the ceramic bezel is perfect

Info here for cleaning tips. Blue ink eraser seems to do the job
